    Hello TW first time post but I've read everything I could dig up on the RA60F 6 speed issues...currently my '11 Taco does not shift into any gear at a stand still w/ engine running. Engine off shifts into every gear. If I get the truck rolling I can force it in but it's difficult. I've read about the TOB issues but my truck doesnt squeal in neutral at all and once I'm rolling it doesnt slip/pop out/ or get stuck. Just seems I'm not getting full engagement from the clutch pedal. I've replaced master and slave and thoroughly bled, adjusted the master rod, checked for cracks in the pedal bracket, and not coming up with anything. I've seen many other posts with these symptoms but most were related to TOB and fork. My fork doesnt seem to be cracked and is definetly moving back and forth. Any help is appreciated.

    I believe its stock clutch 150k miles

    Something is making the clutch disc spin slightly.... or alot... so it's not de-clutching. Something as simple as the disc hub is not sliding freely on the input shaft splines, so maybe the disc is still getting spun by the flywheel.

    My 2005 with 6 speed is approaching that issue. At a stop, as I depress the clutch pedal, and then select 1st, I feel a slight jerk forward. With 220k and 18 years on the original clutch, it's due, even though it drives and holds full throttle still. Had an Aisin clutch on the shelf for a few years, it's gotta happen soon for me.

    When you have the clutch done, or do it, use a wire brush or wire wheel to make sure input shaft splines are very clean from rust and goo.

    Either it isn't disengaging when the pedal is pressed (lack of movement) or the pressure plate is shot.
